Plaid velvets are employed to blend
with plain materials.
new model is high hat trimmed
with checked velvet with gilt quill
thrust through it.
Plainness to severity is the rule in the
newest and most approved models for
skirts.
Ball gowns for young ladies touch the
ground; for married women they are
made quite long.
The Aldine, the English turban, the
BoulaDger, the Richelieu, the Lady Gay
and the Admiral are the favorite hats of
the season.
The reign of glitter in dress will soon
be over; beads and beaded trimmings
are rapidly being driven 10 the back
grC und.
The kilt suit of black velvet is the
fsvorite for very small boys. The collar
and cuffs are Of lace, the soft knotted silk
NJ cktie pale rose, blue, canary yellow, or
bright red, dotted with white.
A pretty outdoor coat for little boy
is of gray cloth, made with cape and
large buttons, after the manner OF 8

trimmed only with ribbon band and one
quill feather.
All but tailor made toilets are embel-
lished with vest fschs of crepe, null or
silk tissue, fastened to high military
collar, and trimmed down either side
with band of velvet ribbon.
Wide sashes trimmed with flowers are
e new idea, and are sure to lind general
favor. Imagine cream silk sash the
width Of the silk, fringed st the edge with
g shower Of rose petals and roses; or a
tuile sash for young girl, with white
frosted roses.
Tea gowns of the ribbon striped silk,
now so much in vogue for indoor wear,
must be trimmed in the light style Gppro-
pirate to Vatican fabrics. Loose fronts
and close-ftting backs are still the rule,
but any caprice may be followed in
designing the sleeves.
The bonnets are very small, fitting the
head closely like cap. They are made
of otis of embroidery, of passementerie,
and of metal cord lacing, gold and silver
beads and is abound, and the trimmings
tower very high.

two inch satin stripe of crimson, most
effective on the black to carry the color

son satin, braided all over in gold; the
same combination appears on the cuffs.
Lace skirts still prevail, but they are
treated somewhat as uuderskirts, for
! here are hung over them either three
narrow panels or five bands of fine en-
broidered silk stuffs; the corsage and
train are made of plain silk of the same
color as the ground of the panels or
bands.
Inexpensive but pretty dinner gowns
for young girls are msde in light sole de
Chine, with printed fiOrsI patterns, or in
plain colors which are pure in ton9. The
bodices are not of the same material. For
these MORE, plush or peau de sole are
used, and also with crepe de lsine, which
ir,>pes well. and is the very fabric for
youth
